fashinmick,

I'm going to say it is "Finnish" in origin because it almost looks identical to a Finnish mask I have seen before. Allow me to get back to you in the next 24 hours and I should have a better idea of what it is. Because with that name and model number it could be British too.

the respirator in my opinion looks to be a west german m65

Spot,

You could be very well right. The Eyeletts give it away as West German.

Hi there the bomb looks like a 8 1/2lb mk4 break-up bomb minus its centre ring.
